Winston Langley

Winston Langley has taught for more than 40 years and served as Provost of the University of Massachusetts Boston from 2008 to 2017. The principal focus of his research and writing has been in the area of international relations dealing with models of global order, with strong emphasis on human rights and criticism of the present amoral system, which is based on sovereign nation-states. He sees this system as the primary source of international violence, including war, and the unending cause of human rights abuse. Women and children have been an area of his human rights research and writing. Dr. Langley earned a BA in Biology from Atlantic Union College, an MA in European Diplomatic History, a PhD in Political Science and International Relations from Howard University, and a JD from Suffolk University.
